This course can be adapted to the following programming languages: WEB / SPECIFIC TOPIC
Since all applications today heavily rely on communication and networks, there is no application security without network security. This Network Security and Secure Communication training course gives a strong foundation on design principles as well as practical answers on how to use various cryptographic primitives and security protocols properly, while also focusing on the two most critical areas in that domain from a developer's point of view: network communication and practical cryptography. It covers network-level threats and countermeasures from the Data Link to the Application layer, and gives an overview of the most critical implementation-level attacks against crypto implementations as well as the security issues related to XML. The course is recommended for developers of interoperating networked applications –giving them the essential knowledge to design and implement secure network software.
What the attendee will learn:
- Understand basic concepts of security, IT security and secure coding
